What exactly does this option do?
What this option will do is revise your live listings on eBay (in bulk), copy the images to our servers, and 'update' the image URL's to use our servers instead of Auctivas. This means your images
will be loading from us and not Auctiva! This option will NOT strip out your Auctiva Template and we are unsure what if you can use them or not. We recommend letting these listings run their course, and launch new listings using our templates.
Will this strip out my Auctiva template on eBay too?
No, unfortunately this will not strip out the template on your live listings. We had an option for this, however not all listings turned out like we liked and we decided to not release this. What you can do is go into revise mode on these listings, try removing all the html
from the description section, and inputting a new template from our system. You can do this directly from inside inkFrog by simply clicking on the title of the listing (this brings up revise mode). One great thing that can help you with this is using the WYSIWYG button on our description section.
Is this all I need to do and I can cancel my Auctiva service?
This is a difficult question to answer. In theory you can cancel your account after you go through each step of our importer. The import options we offer you are a great help and greatly help you
cut down on the time it would take you to manually import your listings to us. However, they are not perfect, and can not get all your listings and can not get your saved Auctiva listings. We recommend all new listings you create
be brand new and launched from our system.
Can I get all my saved (not live or unsold) listings on Auctiva converted to inkFrog?
Unfortuantely we can only import your 'live' and 'unsold' listings into our system. We cannot get your Auctiva saved listings.
How can I remove the Auctiva template on a live listing?
The only way to do this is by doing it manually. You can click on the title in our system to bring up 'revise' mode and use our WYSIWYG editor on the description to try and strip the Auctiva temploate out (take the html out and just grab your description text). You can then select a new template from our system.
Are there more steps you would recommend doing?
We recommend going through each step of our import process. You can see each step here: here. We also recommend that all of your new listings
be launched through inkFrog either from your library or from newly created listings. If you are interested in some help revising your templates out, we have people who can help for a small fee. Contact heather@inkfrog.com to learn more.
Some of my items errored and didn't update, what can I do?
Unfortunately not all of your listings are allowed to be revised on eBay and we cannot update these. The best thing to do in these cases is to end these listings and recreate and relaunch them through our system.
